Parallels 8 - Use Animations?

[puithove]

Yea, so this is yet one more thing that makes me regret upgrading from Parallels 7 to 8. I see no benefit now in doing so and I have at least these three things I can think of that are now issues in 8 - all three worked beautifully in 7. Very disappointed in Parallels.

1) Windows 7 Snipping tool broken in Coherence mode - http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=264538
2) Mapping the release input hotkey - http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=262614
3) The issue in this thread - having a very, very annoying default and removing the option to disable it.

I would seriously like to have a refund for the cost of the upgrade and just go back to v7. Anyone been successful in getting them to do a refund?

Exactly why I went back to 7...

Same problem

Hi All,

I'm having the same menu zooming problem HOWEVER, when I right-click on Parallels Desktop in my Applications folder and "Show Contents" I DO NOT see the config.pvs file.

Can someone please help?

Thanks!

I also cannot find that pvs file. Is there a way things can be hidden on a mac (ok I am still new to mac).

Thanks!

OK, one last chance - try to open virtual machine bundle (right click -> show package contents), then open config.pvs file, find WindowAnimation entry and change its value to 0, so it looks like:
<WindowAnimation>0</WindowAnimation>

Worked like a charm! Thanks!
